Lamiflex Aktiebolag

In 1992, a new company, Lamiflex AB, was established in Nyköping, Sweden. It began with a focused solution to a heavy-duty problem: protecting industrial goods like steel pipes and bars from damage during transportation. The core business was providing specialized packaging materials to industries where product integrity during shipping is critical, such as the steel, aluminum, and cable sectors. From this specific niche, Lamiflex began a journey of steady expansion. The company grew not just by selling more of its initial products but by broadening its scope entirely. It evolved from a materials supplier into a provider of comprehensive packaging solutions, incorporating automation, services, and process improvements. This playbook involved strategic acquisitions and international expansion, establishing a global footprint with subsidiaries and partners around the world. A pivotal chapter in the company's story was written in 2018. The private equity firm Priveq Investment became the new majority owner, partnering with Lamiflex to accelerate its growth. This move was designed to fuel further development and capitalize on a market shift towards automation and more advanced plastic-based protection. The existing management and previous owners remained invested, signaling a collaborative effort for the next phase of the company’s evolution.
